BASC Young Shot Alex Dalby received a great thirteenth birthday present in November. He had a wonderful time on his very first shoot near his Rutland home, bagging a hen and then a cock pheasant on the first two drives. Alex took them home, dressed them and made a delicious meal for the whole family on the following day.
